RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-22
Quick test on Pre-Frodo, all working.
Frodo and onwards, episode saved as jpg, but not with -thumb.jpg, so not appearing in MC.
More testing to do.

oops
i must have pressed undo to many times,
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-22
Found another glitch, funny actually.
Added new folder to test group, "Glee"
Set MC to Frodo
Clicked "search Root for new shows"
Watched the Glee folder, and had to stop MC when it has saved "season490-banner.jpg"
it missed a few seasons, but when I stopped MC, I had first four seasons as poster and banner, then another 75 with just seasonxx-banner.jpg which was a copy of season 3's banner. Also, Season04-banner and Season04 poster was just the poster for season 4.
Set as Pre-Frodo, and added again, it got the seasonxx.tbn correct.

yeah i had this but i thought it was just because american dad is a weird show for scraping... different sites have different episode layouts, tried it with doctor who which was the only other show i had quick access to and it worked fine.... it wasn't doing this in the previous build was it?
http://puu.sh/1QRRZ < old build.
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-22
Nope, this may be because there isn't a banner for season 4 of glee
Just a thought?

hmm good answer
will investigatealso ignore the extra messagebox's that may appear, it was used for me to work out what functions was what action
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-22
Also am getting a double window appear then selecting save or check root.
first window says tv_showscrape, click OK, then MC window "changes saved" OK.
Can we get rid of tv_showscrape window?

read up
also you right, if the season banner /poster is not found it goes on to 1000
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-22
Doh, should read all of post. LOL
OK, just tested new show, "Hart of Dixie" There are no banners for season 1 or 2, but on Frodo onwards, MC saving poster and banner the same image (poster), but Season 2 only had poster.
Hope this might point in right direction.

yeah think i found it although still find this code really confusing, it seems to have nearly all of it duplicated but with different ways of doing the same thing :S, working on it
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-22
Hey, no worries.
It was discussed with Huey a while ago, to modularize the code, so one routine could be called from numerous locations. Making it way easier to edit/adjust. But the original dev, Billy, had created the program himself and was learning it as he went.
One thing in testing, If search for new episodes, episode image is saved as jpg. But if use Batch rescrape wizzard, then saved as -thumb.jpg.
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - fma965 - 2013-01-22
try this no idea if it works or not

um yeah can't seem to work out where that code is
did a search for ".jpg" and went through each result but still not sure where it came from :'(

Tried latest and get a crash

nah it was all part of my test
i wanted to see if you was getting the same error as me or if it was just my setup.
RE: Media Companion V3.500 Stable Released & Alpha with Frodo TV support - vbat99 - 2013-01-23
ok, two more for your notes: (back to earlier download)
Tv Batch rescrape, (not episode, but top TV Show), selecting "search for and download" artwork or fanart, does not scrape frodo artwork.
R-click show and select "Find missing art for show" will save season01-poster and 02-poster, and not -banner. this is for shows that don't have any banners.
Ok, that might be confusing. Hart of Dixie has only main poster and banner on thetvdb site, no banners for season 1 or 2.
Scraped Hart Of Dixie with "Pre-frodo" option, then changed to "Frodo Onwards" options, and selected "find missing artwork"
This found and scraped all Frodo artwork, but where before I "checked root for new shows" it saved 01-poster.jpg and 01-banner.jpg, and they were same image. this time saved only 01-poster.jpg and 02-poster.jpg.
It didn't try and save 01-banner.jpg. That's good, you may be able to find the code for this and correct in the other area's.
Not sure, but hope I'm helping in nailing it down for you.
Rob
Yep, that even worked for Glee, stopped at season04-poster.jpg
